  1. i would personally say, in my experience....go for an avid bb7...im going to try a juicy 5 shortly so ill see how that performs
  2. world force bars are pretty similar to the dmrs....stems definitely too short though IMO Ill pist a pic up 2moz as im at college atm.... Id use a shim, used one before with no major mishaps, just make sure its tight, and preferably gnurled for grip inside
  3. same, was going to use an echo control stem....but now ive got a kore one as i cant find me bar shim

    soooo....... will mr ko make an appearance to try and defend himself?
  5. i assume you're joking? I used koolstops for ages and they were actually okay...blacks are just hideous
  6. that is pure naivety right there..... Get some good pads; eg zoo greens or plazzy pads ...far better performance than blacks ( at least recommend koolstops )
  7. recommendation 2#: if you cant get ride of that brake, maybe try some ebc red pads
  8. same...... a couple of ciders and ll be happy Jake'll come im sure.....anyone else coming?

    my mate jake got sent a blue booster when he wnated a red one; a gold rim when he wanted a silver one....then he ordered a tyre and it hasnt shown up....this was 6-7 weeks ago .....
  10. if you pick reponsible people ( voting would be a good idea ) i reckon this could work......choosing someone that rides frequently with large groups of people makes sense also....
  11. ive got an onza zoot.....really impressed with it, prefer it tot he heatsink, but the inspireds just that bit nicer to manual....although the zoots better on the back wheel....pm me if you've got any questions on setup etc
  12. 85mm x 10* stem with 20mm of stackers and some 2" rise bars, e.g some wingbars
  13. ill be there fo shure...drinks after sounds good....15 days later and id be able to get served...;(
  14. im fairly sure theres 2 different sizes, oversized and standard for isis, and one for sq. taper
  15. cousts are lush.....just rebuilt mine for a mate, and its lush
  16. im really impressed with mine, in my opinion nicer than the heatsink mk2.......not quite as good as te inspired but im working on the setup...pm me i you've got any questions, setup is everything, so with a new bar/stem combo the bike'll feel totally different
  17. im using a mono mini and im not impressed with it at all......no real power and virtually no bite, should be changing to a juicy 5 or a bb7 asap
  18. id definitely be up for that.....
  19. the durometer depnds on which supplier you visit....for example...one companies 90a might be abothers 87a....so its best to get a rough idea then ask for some samples
  20. im a drain on society....commonly known as a student
  21. my front meta, which i think is a viz in disguise, is awesome, very light, looks a bit different and extremely strong
  22. someone donate lil leon a bottom bracket ( isis 128 length ) if only for this ride! Im lending an hs33 out...
  23. im personally not a fan of hope brake, id probably stick with the juicy's to be honest on another nots, pay me my £15 you owe me !
  24. shweet....right ill get on that asap.....
  25. right...ive got some dmr wing bars ( 2" rise , 680mm long ) , echo control 90mm x 5* rise....so how much stem stackers for that? and did you runt he bars tilted trials style ( fingers in ends of bars, lift then tighten bolts ) or did you have them laid back?
